In the reimagined BattleStar Galactica universe the Viper is an aging design, an obsolete workhorse. Nimble and fast, able to flip end over end in less than a second it proves more than a match for the Cylon raiders. The design is a slightly more elegant take on the more angular Colonial Vipers from the 1970s, but overall design is remarkably faithful.

It was easy to get high quality reference art for the Viper, as Zoic released well lit clean profile images. Modeling and texturing was straight forward and done by hand.

Modeled in Maya, maps from Turtle, and rendered in Marmoset v2
